Hey people, here's some of those wonderful-looking recipes we've all seen floating around Facebook at some point or another. I managed to round some up, some I'm dying to try so let me know how they turn out if you try any.

Since I'm using plain ol' copy+paste some of these are already linked and credited appropriately. A few I don't know who to credit to, apart from "Anonymous Facebook User", but thank you, A.F.U., from the bottom of my stomach, for all the great ideas!

No Bake Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls 

Author: James Jarrell
1-18 oz. jar of smooth or chunky peanut buter - I prefer smooth
1 - 16 oz. bag of confectioners sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
chocolate almond bark or
chocolate candy melts or
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips & 2 tsp. shortening
In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, confectioners sugar and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. For the next step, the best way that I've found to make a smooth filling is to use your hands to mix everything together.
Line a baking sheet with foil. Roll the peanut butter filling into 1 inch balls and line the baking sheet with rows of the balls. Set the baking sheet in the freezer for 5-7 minutes to chill the peanut butter balls for easier dipping.
While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl that is deep enough for dipping. I melted 6 blocks of chocolate almond bark at a time, stirring at 45 second intervals until smooth.
Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into a peanut butter ball and then dip it into the chocolate, turning quickly to cover the entire candy. Place onto a second baking tray that has also been lined with foil. Swirl the chocolate on the top of each candy for a pretty design. Refrigerate until the chocolate is completely dried.
Store the candies in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
